Infernax

Infernax is a 2D Metroidvania video game developed by Berzerk Studio and published by The Arcade Crew. It was released on February 14, 2022, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The game follows the young Duke Alcedor, who finds his homeland of Upel overrun by monsters upon returning from the Crusades. Infernax received generally favorable reviews. An update to the game, Deux or Die, was released on April 5, 2023, in which another player can join in as Cervul the Squire.

Infernax is set in a dark fantasy world where the player controls Alcedor, while the second player controls Cervul; both find their homeland overrun by a sect of satanists and hordes of monsters upon returning from the Crusades. Alcedor wields a shield and a mace, while Cervul wields throwing axes, a crossbow, a pavise (shield), and a banner, along with using bandages to keep himself and Alcedor healed up; all of these weapons and armor can be upgraded as the player progresses through the game. Players can also obtain a variety of magical spells, with some being able to be upgraded. Players earn gold and experience points by defeating enemies, with gold being used to buy upgrades for equipment while experience points allow players to increase their health, mana (Alcedor only), or attack power.
